Strings and symmetries : proceedings of the Gürsey Memorial Conference I held at Istanbul, Turkey, 6-10 June 1994
The topics in this volume constitute a fitting tribute by distinguished physicists and mathematicians. They cover strings, conformal field theories, W and Virasoro algebras, topological field theory, quantum groups, vertex and Hopf algebras, and non-commutative geometry. The relatively long contribu...
